Another View: Casino defeat in Massachusetts is good for New Hampshireby Rep. Linda DiSilvestro, Rep Raymond Gagnon, Rep. Laura Pantelakos and Rep. Katherine Rogers
November 11. 2013 7:23PM
If you watched election returns from the Bay State Tuesday night, no doubt you saw the results on the issue of gambling. Voters in both Palmer and East Boston rejected proposals to build a casino in their communities. This is good news for New Hampshire.
Central to every proposal to expand gambling in New Hampshire has been the concept of local approval. Our own proposed legislation would allow licensing to go forward only after local approval had been obtained through a vote in the proposed host community. Massachusetts has a similar requirement, and on Tuesday two proposed host communities, East Boston and Palmer, both said no
The local approval requirement has been part of the contemplated New Hampshire regulatory structure because local approval is at the heart of how New Hampshire governs itself. If the community does not want the project, the project doesn't happen there. In Massachusetts, two communities said no despite vigorous campaigns in support of proposed casinos. New Hampshire folks know how to say no just as well as do those in Massachusetts. Local approval works.
People on both sides of the gambling debate can agree on one significant reality: as soon as casinos open for business in Massachusetts, there will be an immediate and long-term negative impact on New Hampshire. Lawmakers and business leaders agree that Bay State casinos will drain millions from New Hampshire's revenue streams. A study by the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies concludes that our state's budget will lose nearly $50 million in revenues from the rooms and meals tax and lottery sales going forward. These estimates are on top of the more than $80 million our residents spend annually on gambling outside of the state.
New Hampshire already has "social costs" associated with gambling from the out-of-state activity and the significant amount of unregulated charitable gaming that goes on within our state now. New gambling facilities that will eventually be sited in Massachusetts will exacerbate this problem. Neither out-of-state casinos nor New Hampshire-based charitable gambling contributes any resources to help treat with these costs. Part of the revenue of a New Hampshire-based casino would be dedicated to just this purpose.
The vote in Massachusetts has given New Hampshire an unexpected opportunity. We now have the chance to be the first into the marketplace with a gambling facility that meets our needs and conforms to our concerns instead of reacting to what happens to our south.
Tuesday's votes force Massachusetts to listen to what its citizens want. In New Hampshire, we should do exactly the same thing — listen to what our citizens want. On the question of expanded gambling, what New Hampshire citizens want could not be clearer.
Look at a public opinion survey conducted just last week by the University of New Hampshire. Voters were asked whether they want to legalize expanded gambling in our state. Fifty-nine percent of respondents said yes, 33 percent said no, and 8 percent were neutral. Given the close margins of so many major issues of our time, that poll is a very clear signal that Granite Staters support gambling. In every region of our state and in every demographic, people support expanded gambling. A UNH poll conducted last February shows almost identical results.
Expanded gambling means a new reason to stay and play in New Hampshire. It means jobs. It means non-tax revenues. It means we can beat Massachusetts.
If a clear majority of New Hampshire supports casino gambling, and local control is a central part of any plan considered in our state, then we have the right road map for doing it right.
Gov. Maggie Hassan supports the idea. The GOP-led New Hampshire Senate has strongly endorsed gambling. And a majority of New Hampshire House Democrats voted for gambling.
We are close. Our colleagues said no to gambling last May primarily out of concern over the need for stricter rules and regulations for operating a casino in this state. Right now, the state's Gambling Authority, made up of law enforcement and legislative leaders, is working on recommendations to create a strict new framework for how a casino would operate in New Hampshire. The report is due next month, in time to be incorporated into a proposal for lawmakers.
Let's give our citizens a voice in this debate. We have a new opportunity to compete with Massachusetts and respond to the clear desire of Granite State voters. We have all the ingredients. It's time to move forward.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Inmates who are refusing meals to protest the state's solitary confinement program for gang leaders are harming their own cause, California's prison chief said Wednesday in his first comments on the subject.
The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation began a program last year that lets inmates with ties to gangs reduce isolation sentences that can last for decades.
That program has stopped since the protest began, Corrections Secretary Jeffrey Beard said. Nor is the department likely to make more concessions to inmates, he said while attending a prisons oversight hearing.
About 30,000 inmates began refusing meals Monday to support inmates held in solitary confinement at Pelican Bay State Prison. The number had fallen below 29,000 by Wednesday.
"I don't think it helps anything to do this," Beard told The Associated Press. "Much of what they're asking for is being done. It's just not being done fast enough for them ... The hunger strike actually interferes with the process."
The protest adds to problems facing Beard as he tries to transfer inmates who are particularly vulnerable to an airborne fungus that can lead to a potentially fatal disease known as valley fever. California is also challenging a different court order requiring the state to free nearly 10,000 inmates by year's end to reduce crowding and improve conditions.
The strike is the largest of three hunger strikes protesting conditions in California prisons in the last two years. After the earlier, smaller strikes, the department began its program giving gang members a way out of the isolation units. About half of the nearly 400 inmates considered so far have been or will be let out of solitary confinement, while another 115 are in a program in which they can work their way out of the units.
"I think the department has pretty much done what it can do," Beard said. "My hope is that they sort of make their point, get the thing over and we can go back and start doing the reviews."
The inmates want a quicker way out of the isolation program at Pelican Bay near the Oregon border and at three other maximum security prisons around the state, said Claude Marks, a spokesman for the Prisoner Hunger Strike Solidarity Coalition.
"They're asking for a more humane set of conditions that aren't designed to destroy people," Marks said. "If that's his position, that CDCR has nothing else to offer, then that explains why there's an issue."

Pri-Med in deal to buy EHR firm
Med-ed company Pri-Med is buying Amazing Charts, a provider of electronic health records, a tie-up the firms say will enable them to deliver customized education to physicians and then assess the patient-level impact.
Amazing Charts, which provides EHRs to about 5,600 mostly small medical practices, will become an independent operating subsidiary of Pri-Med. It was founded in 2001 by family physician Dr. Jonathan Bertman. Bertman will continue to serve as president, and Kathleen Repoli as SVP. Other terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Healthcare providers who use EHRs have risen to about 50%, according to one study, thanks to meaningful use incentives and other factors. These doctors get messaging like drug alerts, boxed warnings and clinical trial availability delivered to their screen. Pri-Med and Amazing Charts want to add customized med ed to that list.
"Not only do we need knowledge at the point of care. We need to know where the knowledge gaps are," said Bertman, adding that he was looking for a strategic partner with the wherewithal to enable the firm's roughly 7,000 users to improve care. "Now my own software can tell me personally, in my own practice, what do I need to do to improve."
Pri-Med can then, in theory, deliver its med-ed activities where and when decision support is needed. "Our goal is to really give some prescriptive-type tools to clinicians and patients at the point of care, augmented by what we already do—great live and online education," said Dr. Marc Mosier, chief medical officer, Pri-Med.
For example, Mosier said, "If I see there are deficits in the diabetes belt [the area of the country most at risk for the blood sugar disease], and we create education in live or online format directed to health disparities and cultural competence to manage cardio-metabolic risk, what better way to assess whether we're having an impact than through the clinicians we engage."
The tool may also align with the need to improve reimbursement. "Where things are going is we're going to be compensated base on how we improve outcomes with patients," said Bertman, referring to incentives in the Affordable Care Act that reward clinicians for moving toward qualitative vs. quantitative measures of care.
Mosier said not many of the other roughly 180 EHRs are exploiting the synergies between CME and EHR. "Some offer a type of minimalist searchable database [for professional education]."
Indeed, said Dr. Steven Waldren, who serves as director of the Center for Health IT at the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), in an e-mail, "This is not common. There is some CME linkage to EHRs, I think, but I have not heard of analysis of the data to suggest specific education. This is one of the future goals of the CDR [clinical data repository] we have been working towards."
So too for assessing outcomes. Up until now, the gold standard for conducting needs assessment and measuring outcomes has been chart-level reviews. However, "getting doctors to participate in these studies is particularly difficult…and very, very expensive," said John Mooney, founder and CEO of Pri-Med. "We've tried as an organization…to do chart-level reviews using independent companies out there, and it's easier said than done."
If Pri-Med can use Amazing Charts as a med-ed platform to determine whether its education changed behavior at the clinical level, as measured by improved patient outcomes, this type of linkage could become a mainstay to improving patient care.
Noted AAFP's Waldren, "There are some significant data issues that must be solved to allow this to succeed, especially at any scale," but he termed the goal "realistic."
"We have great EHRs, but the jury is out on whether they improve outcomes," said Bertman. "Everyone—the government and tax payers—are assuming they do, but to improve it in a study, that data hasn't happened yet. It's still up in the air. We can generate data that it does, or doesn't."

Human Rights and Class in Latin America
Time EstimateThree to four 45-minute class periods, depending on reading capabilities of students
After completing this lesson, students will be able to:
- summarize the issues regarding violence and reproduction for Latin American women.
- compare the treatment of women from different socio-economic classes.
- Sufficient copies of the following sources (in this order):
- Source 2: Official Document, Womens Status
- Source 9: Interview, Violence Against Women
- Source 5: Law, Maternity Leave
- Source 4: Newspaper, Domestic Violence
- Source 1: Table, Life Histories
- Source 3: Committee Hearing, Sterilization
- Source 10: Personal Account, Education
- White/black board and markers/chalk, or overhead, transparencies, and pens (if desired)
- Primary Source Analysis Worksheet: Texts (if desired)
Historical Background/Prior Knowledge:
- Some knowledge of Latin American history and politics from the 1820s to modern day
- Knowledge of the role of religious beliefs, especially those of the Roman Catholic Church
- Some knowledge of Western documents advocating freedoms/liberties like the English Bill of Rights, French Declaration of the Rights of Man, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
- Hook: Ask the students to define the term human rights as best they can. Ask the students for examples of human rights. Do/should human rights vary by culture, religion, ethnicity, or socio-economic class/status?
Violence Against Latin American Women: Have the students read Part 2 of Source 2: Official Document, Womens Status. Are the laws protecting women from domestic violence effective? Why/why not?
Have the students read Source 9: Interview, Violence Against Women. How has SOS Mujer in Uruguay responded to this issue?
Have the students read Source 5: Law, Maternity Leave. How has Cuba responded to this issue? Why do you think Cuba responded differently than Uruguay?
Have the students read Source 4: Newspaper, Domestic Violence. Is the violence against men a response to violence against women or something else? Should the law treat women abusers differently than men?
Reproductive Issues for Women in Latin America: Have the students read Part 1 of Source 2: Official Document, Womens Status. Ask why they think there are no accurate statistics for womens mortality in the countries surveyed. Why are maternal mortality rates so high? Why are abortion mortalities so high? What options do women have? Why is the mortality rate so much lower in the United States?
Have the students read Source 1: Table, Life Histories. What patterns do they see between the six women?
Have the students read Source 3: Committee Hearing, Sterilization. Why would Latin American countries promote sterilization?
Treatment of Women in Different Socio-economic Classes: Have the students read Source 10: Personal Account, Education. What class issues are evident in this reading? Look at Source 1: Table, Life Histories again. What role does socio-economic class play in domestic violence and reproductive problems? To what extent is education a factor?
Human Rights Revisited: Have students ponder the following questions:
- Who determines human rights?
- Who has human rights?
- How do you get human rights?
- How are human rights implemented/enforced?
- What happens when different human rights conflict?
- Are human rights absolute?
- Are human rights universal?
- Can you lose human rights?
- Is the right to choose to have children (or not) a human right?
- Does it matter what class the individuals are?
- Should the government have the ability to regulate reproduction to avoid further stress on welfare programs?
- To what extent does religion help dictate existing policy?
Advanced Students: Depending on your students and your comfort and familiarity, discuss Chinas one child per family policy, which began in the early 1980s. You might also want to compare it to Indias failed attempts to control population in the 1970s.
See: The Effect of China's One-Child Family Policy After 25 Years
See: Government of India National Commission on Population
Less Advanced Students: Do more of the document investigation either in groups (reading partners/buddies) where the students read the documents to each other and work together to fill out the document analysis sheets, or as a classreading the documents aloud and filling in the sheets to try to ensure comprehension. To build vocabulary, have the students identify words needing clarification. Assemble a list on the board. Have dictionaries scattered through the room (ideally one per group) for student reference. This could also be done as a group brainstorm.
For the DBQ, have students fill out the Essay Writing Guide Worksheet and evaluate it based on use of evidence and structure before having the students write out the full DBQ.

The objectives and actions of the fraternal organizations associated with Lycoming College must be consistent with the objectives and policies of the College. So long as these objectives and policies are fostered and supported by fraternal organizations, the College will continue to recognize and support them. The objectives of Lycoming College (which are to be achieved with the cooperation and support of these fraternal social organizations) include:
I. A. A group seeking College recognition as a potential fraternal organizations will submit to the Office of Student Involvement a detailed statement indicating the reasons it believes a new fraternal organization is needed and desirable, its own purposes and goals, a description of the distinctive qualities it could bring to Lycoming College and its Greek system, and, if applicable, documentation of support from the potential fraternal organization's national office and local alumni for a colonization effort, and for their participation in the full development of the new fraternal organization.
B. The Assistant Director of Student Involvement will submit this information to the Fraternal Expansion Committee whose members are the Director of Residence Life, the President of the Interfraternity Council, the President of the Panhellenic Council, one faculty member appointed by the Dean of the College, and the Director and Assistant Director of Student Involvement.
C. Upon receipt of the information provided by the requesting group, the Fraternal Expansion Committee will consider the question of whether the establishment of a new fraternal organization at Lycoming is presently appropriate. The Committee will review current system rush statistics for the past three years, the size and stability of existing groups, and the availability of housing and other support resources. If the Committee's deliberation results in a negative conclusion, the matter is closed. All decisions of the Committee are final.
II. A. If the Committee rules that the group may apply formally for recognition, the group will be required to submit to the Committee, through the Office of Student Involvement, eight copies of its "Application for Recognition as a Fraternal Organization." The "Application" shall contain the following information:

Lindsay Lohan's co-star in new movie The Canyons has slammed the actress' on-set behavior, likening her to a "child lashing out".
Porn star James Deen, who has previously revealed the Mean Girls beauty frequently criticized his work ethic, claims Lohan infuriated her co-workers with her attitude and often refused to venture onto the set.
He tells Britain's The Sun, "There were days when she would scream and yell and cry and refuse to come out. In porn I am used to working with professionals who are courteous to others. But Lindsay was like a child lashing out."
Deen also alleges Lohan became angry when director Paul Schrader asked her to take her shoes off for a scene.
He adds, "It was a simple request. I am a short guy and it looked ridiculous with her towering over me in seven-inch heels.
"But she refused. She was crying and screaming that she was the star of the film. In the end it was decided I would wear boots to make me taller and she finally calmed down."
However, Deen admits he feels for Lohan, who found fame as a child star.
He explains, "She is a product of the Hollywood system. She is so fragile you can't help but feel for her."

What's with the bizarre cable run down by the fork shown in the main image !
Doesn't look like that in the PR photos but obviously something happened when actually riding it.

Marin's San Anselmo Alfine city bike is a strong, well equipped, versatile piece of commuter fun. The high quality Shimano components, reassuring tyres and plush seatpost come together with a quality frame and fork package to provide a great pick me up on those morning rides to work.
Don't be fooled into thinking that this is simply a short hop, get to work bike though, its equally at home on longer, casual rides on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Having ridden the San Anselmo on bridleways, riverside trails, old railway lines and tarmac I can confirm that the comfort levels make this bike a real pleasure to ride.
Marin have dipped their San Anselmo frame in Shimano Alfine componentry with the odd appearance from the Deore stable and the result is a reliable, quick shifting, relaxing ride. At the heart of this system is the internal 8 speed hub which offers wide-range gearing with an "everything inside" philosophy. The design of the hub and mounts gives the option of running disc brakes over the rim brakes on our test model. This level of flexibility sets the San Anselmo apart from some of its rivals.
This machine fits neatly into the limit for the Government's cycle to work scheme which, since its introduction, has seen a glut of bikes released of all types and brands making the £800-£1000 price band one of the most competitive in the market. Marin are an American company with American heritage and design through all of their bikes and are most noted for their range of off road machines. Design in the States and manufacture in Taiwan makes for high quality and competitive pricing.
The San Anselmo has a smooth, bare Aluminium frame with chunky engineered welds, it does come with the luxury of a Carbon fork and this has the added benefit of mudguard eyelets. The practicalities have been extended to offering a good level of clearance, even with the 28mm Continental tyres that come as standard.
Given the quality of roads around at the moment (which have deteriorated rapidly since the frozen winter) the choice to spec a suspension seatpost was gratefully received. There is only an inch or so of damping but it did make a difference. Riding along the rutted and rough Avon riverside trail just out of Bristol toward Bath is something I've tried on a cross bike, a GT aggressor MTB, even my old Giant TCR roadie but by far the most relaxed was this Marin. The nimble frame, the smooth forks and suspension seatpost and the reliable Shimano kit all worked in harmony. The seatpost isn't a high quality unit though and requires you to be in the right position to get the most out of it. The test bike was a 19" and given my 5ft 10" frame this should normally be just about right for me, but this frame felt small, I felt a bit cramped and as such I didn't initially get the best performance out of the seatpost. This really does make me feel that you need to get down to your LBS to try before you buy unless you can find a mail order test facility as used by Wiggle on some of their ranges.
Shifts are smooth and quiet from the Alfine system, and the 32-97 inch gear range should be suitable for virtually all but the hilliest cities (of which Bristol is one!), nevertheless, out of the saddle efforts saw me up Park street and Whiteladies road with ease. Don't attempt something daft and you wont be troubled.
And for more casual, less hardcore bike riders it makes a great deal of sense. Using an internal hub is not only neater than a derailleur but you can also change gear while you're standing still, which is handy in slow moving, traffic light controlled city traffic. Given the British weather the enclosed design should help your gearing system last more miles between services than a regular derailleur layout.
A very well equipped city bike with a few strokes of luxury that help it stand out from the crowd, just be sure to get the correct size.
Make and model: Marin San Anselmo Alfine
Size tested: 19 inch
State the frame and fork material and method of construction. List the components used to build up the bike.
Aluminium frame, chunky welds and a good carbon fork. The bike is fitted with Shimano Alfine and deore components and finished with Marin kit and a wtb saddle.
Tell us what the bike is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about the bike?
Its a city, commuter bike. Marin have aimed this at the cycle to work market which has sprung up thanks to the government backed initiative. It works a treat for this sort of thing, comfort levels set is above some other hybrids out there and while not being as quick as the Gary Fisher Mendota it isnt sluggish.
Tell us about the build quality and finish of the frame and fork?
Superb forks with mudguard holes give a sense of thought and dedication to the development of this bike. The frame, despite coming up a bit small, was nimble, comfortable and as strong as we know Marins are.
Tell us about the materials used in the frame and fork?
CXR Carbon forks giove a smooth front end ride and the good quality 6061 hydro edged aluminium frame does exactly what it is meant to do while looking very swish.
Tell us about the geometry of the frame and fork?
The 19" test model has an effective 55.5 cm top tube which should be great for me as I ride a 56cm road bike and a smaller framed mountain bike but it felt quite cramped. I suggest getting to your local marin dealer to try it out yourself.
How was the bike in terms of height and reach? How did it compare to other bikes of the same stated size?
Height wise the bike was fine, exactly what I was looking for but it felt cramped in terms of reach. The short-ish riser stem didnt help matters but even when I used the adustment and set the stem angle lower I was still a little tucked up.
Was the bike comfortable to ride? Tell us how you felt about the ride quality.
Yes, once I got my position right in order to make the most out of the suspension seatpost.
Did the bike feel stiff in the right places? Did any part of the bike feel too stiff or too flexible?
No, it was spot on. I could accelerate quickly with no lag, the bars were perhaps a little wide for my liking but it did help to stabilise the bike.
How did the bike transfer power? Did it feel efficient?
Yes which is very important in cities where stopping and starting is more of the journey than cycling!
Was there any toe-clip overlap with the front wheel? If so, was it a problem?
None whatsoever
How would you describe the steering? Was it lively, neutral or unresponsive? neutral, nothing edgey but nothing that made me bored either..
Tell us some more about the handling. How did the bike feel overall? Did it do particular things well or badly?
It worked fine, while not being a speed machine like the Mendota it did allow me to have fun.
Which components had the most effect (good or bad) on the bike's comfort? would you recommend any changes?
In the right position the suspension seatpost was a great addition but it really does need fitting to the rider. Once working it made bridleways and riverside paths easily accessible in comfort.
Which components had the most effect (good or bad) on the bike's stiffness? would you recommend any changes?
The engineered rear seat and chain stays allwoed for good handlong and power transfer, Marin have clearly thought about this.
Which components had the most effect (good or bad) on the bike's efficiency? would you recommend any changes?
The Alfine internal hub was a revelation, this bike would be great for someone who wants to cycle but cant be doing with the hassle of servicing regularly. It stands up to a lot and in Britain that is a good thing.
wide bars didnt help me here but were good for slower speeds.
With the suspension seatpost I could relax on the ride, very nice.
The alfine internal hub gearing meant that I didnt need to worry about changing gear before a junction, I could do it while stopped.
plenty of ground clearance, I could corner at a good angle if need be,
Plenty in Bristol, I felt relaxed and in control.
Not the lightest and perhaps not the range of gehars as some others but there is enough to deal with most gradients.
Superb, I would have one.
Again, ideal for the British climate as it is more protected than a conventional system
lighter than it looks but not featherlight.
You get what you pay for, at this price the Alfine drivetrain is excellent value.
Tell us some more about the drivetrain. Anything you particularly did or didn't like? Any components which didn't work well together?
I thought it all worked well together, the brakes were a little soft but that can be put down to it being a brand new bike..after a few miles they were improving.
Branded Shimano wheels, built very well.
Conti sportcontact tyres were superb, never let me down despite my efforts to see what I could do to them!
Cant fault them at all on this price of bike.
Tell us some more about the wheels and tyres.Did they work well in the conditions you encountered? Would you change the wheels or tyres? If so, what for?
I encountered some rain and wind but it has been mainly dry so I had to find some riverside trails with mud and water and the tyres were great, grippy yet they got rid of water and mud from their tread easily too
The bars are just a bit too wide for my liking, the adjustable stem will be popular though.
Shimano specced kit here too, cant fault it.
Ergonomic v-brake levers, very easy to use.
Tell us some more about the controls. Any particularly good or bad components? How would the controls work for larger or smaller riders?
Anyone smaller (which the frame would suggest this size is aimed at) may feel like they are reaching wide for these bars. The display on the alfine control is easy to see and the reach on the brake levers should be fine for all but the extremes.
Anything else you want to say about the componentry? Comment on any other components (good or bad)
The suspension seatpost is a neat addition but make sure you can use it properly otherwise you will encounter forward and back flex which ruins the point of it.
Did you enjoy riding the bike? Yes
Would you consider buying the bike? Yes I would, for the drivetrain and forks.
Would you recommend the bike to a friend? Yes I have done already
Anything further to say about the bike in conclusion?
A lovely machine, looks good, great kit on it. One of the best you will get on the cycle to work scheme.
Age: 24 Height: 5ft 10 Weight: 70kg
I usually ride: felt ar4 My best bike is: i like my felt and my orbea ora tt bike equally

I regularly do the following types of riding: road racing, time trialling, commuting, club rides, general fitness riding, mtb, triathlon
It doesn't look like that now either, if you check out the on-white pics we did when the bike came in there is a little grip holding the cable in to the guide. There are three guides on either side of the down tube - so that you can I presume route a dynamo cable down the other side… one of 'em popped out between office and shoot, or possibly between test and office, more likely the former though as bikes have to be carted around and about the place to get out of road.cc towers or indeed in.
Luckily there are three spares on the bike so it's all better now.
yeah it's a little plastic clip gone astray. if i'd noticed at the time i would have zip tied it back on. we've had plenty of bikes with similar cable clips and they're all pretty ephemeral, they end up being replaced with good ol' dependable zip ties in the end...
check out http://road.cc/content/image/16409-marin-san-anselmo-down-tube for a pic of the clip in question which is, as cat1 says, already halfway to freedom...

What to CookWeeknight Cooking
Buttered Corn and Noodles
- Jenny
Husband: "Really? Milking corn?"
Me: "It's not that big a deal. Just use the paring knife."
Husband: "I just don't feel that corn milking is something you should be asking people to do during the week."
Do you have conversations like this? Some helpers need help to help, that's just the way it goes in the kitchen. Don't be worked up about all of this when you take on Buttered Corn and Noodles because it really is not that much trouble, and as we move more deeply into fall, and your basil begins to look like little green tears out there on the porch, and the corn finally disappears from the markets, you'll want to use frozen corn for this meal and there will be no milking involved.
So, what we have here friends, is a lot of carbs and a lot of fat, perked up with some more fat, and a few delightful herbs. We're talking about egg noodles, for which you should put on your water right away, because, if you have a helper shucking your corn and taking it off the cob (then taking the little bits and corn milk off with the butt of your knife as aargersi explains) this dish will be ready in no time.
Crisp up your bacon first (my large cast iron was a good skillet for this dish), then get the corn going in the slick of bacon fat that you have left behind and the butter, as your new lardons take a paper towel nap. Watch your heat: I had to kick it down a notch as the corn started to brown up. As it so happened, my husband put the milk right in with the corn bits, so it all went into the pan together, which was fine.
At this point the noodles went into their bath of boiling water and indeed six minutes later, as instructed, they were ready to be drained and join their corn friends in the skillet. Next do your herbs (may I use this opportunity once again to extol the joys of marjoram which really never seems to get its due even though basil is constantly being tarted around the town in every recipe I have) and some salt and pepper. Throw on your scallions (a nice touch but if you don't have any, don't worry; some sautéed shallots would be a great choice here, too) and the lemon zest.
Total time: roughly 15 minutes. Now take your bowl and go watch "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." I suggest a run the next morning.
Buttered Corn and Noodles by aargersi
Serves 4
- 8 ounces egg noodles
- 4 cobs of corn
- 4 strips of bacon
- 4 scallions
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 6 basil leaves
- a pinch of fresh marjoram
- zest from 1 lemon
- salt and pepper
- Cut the corn off of the cob, then milk the cobs as well. Thinly slice the scallions, and chop the herbs. ** to milk the cob - set the cob on end in a bowl and run the back side of your knife down it to get the juices and kernel tidbits out - this adds extra corny goodness to your dish! **
- Start a pot of water boiling for the noodles. Cut the bacon into lardons and crisp it in a large skillet. When it is nice and crunchy, remove it to a paper towel and drain all but a thin coating of bacon fat. Put the heat on medium add the butter and the corn to the skillet. Season with a pinch of salt and a couple of grinds of pepper.
- Your water should be boiling so put the noodles in, they probably take 6 minutes. Add the corn "milk" and the noodles to the skillet, then toss in the herbs and green onion and the bacon. Zest the lemon into the pan, toss, and serve!!

Did God use the "Big Bang" to create the universe?Question: "Did God use the "Big Bang" to create the universe?"
Answer: Prior to the 20th Century, it was not clear if the universe ever had a beginning. Had it always existed? No one knew. It was a matter of faith. Then a succession of discoveries throughout the 20th Century showed beyond a reasonable doubt that the universe did have a beginning. It wasn't always here.
First, Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, published in 1916, suggested that the universe had not always existed. Unsettled by the implications of his own theory, however, Einstein added a "cosmological constant" to make his equations support the possibility of a static (and therefore eternal) universe. Then the works of Georges Lemaître and Edwin Hubble in the 1920s demonstrated that the universe is expanding and that Einstein's cosmological constant was a mistake. This left a lot of astrophysicists very unhappy. Many felt that Lemaître, a Roman Catholic priest, was trying to inject religion into physics by suggesting that the universe had a beginning.
Over the next several decades, physicists tried to salvage the eternality of the universe by proposing everything from the Milne model (1935) to the steady state theory (1948). But with the 1964 discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation—predicted by Big Bang theorists in the 1940s—the Big Bang theory became the preeminent cosmological model. The question was no longer, did the universe have a beginning? The question became, how did it happen?
As more and more astrophysicists focused their attention on what happened in the first few moments, months and years of the universe, some Christians became upset that the new theoretical models didn't match up with their interpretation of Genesis. Just as many astrophysicists felt that the expanding universe theory was a ploy to inject religion into science, many Christians have come to feel that the Big Bang is an effort to undermine the biblical account of creation. Other Christians, however, feel that the Big Bang is consistent with the Bible's account and welcome such compelling evidence for the creation of the universe.
Keep in mind that the Big Bang wasn't a sudden explosion of energy in some empty part of space at some distant moment in time. According to the theory, all space, time and energy came into existence together in that "bang." Before the Big Bang, there was no time. There was no space. Then, suddenly, an exceedingly dense, incredibly hot, infinitesimal ball of something – everything – appeared somewhere, somehow for reasons unknown and began to expand rapidly with our whole world inside of it.
It is hard not to see the evidence for the Big Bang as a stunning example of where science and theology intersect. Astrophysicist Dr. Robert Jastrow phrased it this way in his book God and the Astronomers (New York, W.W. Norton, 1978, p. 116): "For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries." Why? Because, as Jastrow explained in a subsequent interview, "Astronomers now find they have painted themselves into a corner because they have proven, by their own methods, that the world began abruptly in an act of creation to which you can trace the seeds of every star, every planet, every living thing in this cosmos and on the earth. . . .That there are what I or anyone would call supernatural forces at work is now, I think, a scientifically proven fact" ("A Scientist Caught Between Two Faiths: Interview with Robert Jastrow," Christianity Today, August 6, 1982, pp. 15, 18).
If Christians are to have objections to the Big Bang theory, it should only be in the atheistic presuppositions that often go along with the theory. The idea itself, that the universe came into existence due to an explosion, is not necessarily incompatible with the biblical creation account. As one Christian theologian has stated, "I am not necessarily opposed to the Big Bang theory. Rather, I know who banged it."
With that said, it is important to understand that the Big Bang theory is just that, a theory. It has not been, and cannot be, explicitly proven. Some scientists, Christian and non-Christian, have pointed out some flaws with the Big Bang theory. Here are two examples:

Captains: How many? Who do you want?
Coach Hoke announced at his presser today that the voting for team captains would take place this Sunday.
On that, a couple things...
- Anyone know how many we'll have?
- Who do you want to see as captains?
I'm guessing there'll probably be 4. That sounds about right for football, I think. I'd like to see:
- Martin and Molk - both senior leaders and anchors of the DL and OL. Both show up to play with intensity.
- Denard - The obvious leader of the offense... By all accounts really worked hard in the off-season getting everyone together for 7-on-7's.
- Kovacs - The guy's work ethic, determination, and persistence, to go from being a walk-on to a multi-year starter is exemplary.
If there's a fifth, I'd want it to be Woolfolk, for battling back from that injury and putting in the work to bounce back strong.

Game Over For Wal-Mart?
Stock shows signs of weakness.
My firm's process to evaluate stocks is very simple. First, we track how stocks are doing over the past 100 days from a relative strength measure. Second, we track the level of short selling. Third, we combine the two and rank on a stock, group and sector basis.
The overall rank simply tells us how the market is voting in favor or against a stock, group or sector. What does our work tell us about the consumer?
First, no one is heavily short the consumer sectors that include Household Products, Retailing, Food Beverage & Tobacco, Consumer Durables/Apparel, Consumer Services and Food & Staples Retailing. The previous order is ranked from the strongest to weakest in terms of my firm's overall sector ranks.
There are no sectors that rank a buy in the upper 33% of our rankings. Many are are equal weight or neutral and several are avoid. The avoids include Consumer Durable/Apparel, Consumer Services and Food & Staples Retailing. It is interesting that Food & Staples Retailing is an avoid given it is defensive in nature.
What are the pro traders saying about your stocks?
Minyanville's Buzz and Banter- 14 day FREE Trial
This alerts us to the fact that more "growthy" names are being bid up by investors. When the market falls apart, expect to see Food & Staples Retailing improve. Stocks that are weak in our work meaning their technicals ranks are weak and the short selling is light include Walgreen (WAG), CVS (CVS), Sysco (SYY), Kroger (KR), Safeway (SWY) and Wal-Mart (WMT). The most interesting name on this list is Wal-mart. This name has rallied on the trade down by the consumer but its recent weakness could be telling us that game is over.
The net-net is that the lack of sectors with a buy confirms the perception that the consumer is dead. What's interesting is that the majority of consumer sectors are neutral and could either roll over from here or improve. Clearly, retail is at a nexus and this confirms what Prof. Krueger and Todd wrote about yesterday on the Buzz & Banter.

Palatine's Promise events combat bullying
To celebrate and encourage anti-bullying behavior, Palatine High School's Palatine's Promise hosted two recent events: Lunchapalooza, which was during student lunch hours, and Do Don't Be Rude, an activity that encourages manners and respect toward others.
Palatine's Promise focused these events around an overall goal of accepting others despite differences.
"This year really focuses on getting along with others even if you don't like them," said Eric Smith, counselor at Palatine High School and sponsor of Palatine's Promise. "A lot of our activities are to help our students get along."
Lunchapalooza included several different activities to mix up students during their lunch hours. If students brought in food to donate to the local food pantry, they were given raffle tickets for a prize.
Some students wrote "love" on their arms with henna, a traditional Indian natural ink for designs on skin. Smith said this was a multicultural activity that also promoted support for students struggling with self-harming issues, such as cutting. Additionally, announcers in the lunchroom had students introduce facts about their friends to start positive communication during lunch.
The second day of Lunchapalooza featured a student talent show with a wide-range of acts and the final day, student groups such as Orchesis and jazz band performed. Students could participate in karaoke, video games and bags, where the goal is to work in teams to toss bean bags into holes cut out of wood.
In Do Don't Be Rude, members of Palatine's Promise went to classrooms, and students were given activities that showcased the importance of being nice to others.
"There are a lot of rude things that can happen within a high school setting, but the biggest thing that we want students to come away with is that you never know what kind of day someone is having," Smith said. "We remind students that if someone is being rude, we don't need to react and to keep in mind that you might not know what someone is going through or experiencing."

1. British Christians are slowly being banned from advocating traditional Christian views . . . such as the belief that marriage should involve one man and one woman. The only allowable morality is that which does not align with traditional Judeo-Christian doctrines.
2. A well-known Hispanic actress was fired from play because she supports a Tea Party candidate. "'Of course she has the right to say whatever she wants. But we're in the middle of the Mission [District in San Francisco]. Doing what she is doing is against what we believe,' Lopez [wife of far Left S.F. Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi] said." In other words, Hispanics are not allowed not hold any views inconsistent with the Democrat party platform.
3. Andrew Cuomo, governor of New York: "The Republican Party candidates are running against the SAFE Act — it was voted for by moderate Republicans who run the Senate! Their problem is not me and the Democrats; their problem is themselves. Who are they? Are they these extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay? Is that who they are? Because if that's who they are and they're the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York, because that's not who New Yorkers are." Support the Second Amendment? New York is not the place for you. Agree with roughly half the country that pregnant women aren't the ones making a "sacrifice" when they abort a fetus? Leave New York. Now!!
That's just from the past couple of days. Please feel free to add any I missed.

Forty-one years ago, Steve Starnes played football alongside Al Cowlings and O.J. Simpson as the Buffalo Bills fifth-round draft pick out of University of Tampa. He also played for the Green Bay Packers and the (former) Boston Patriots. He was big and burly. Then he injured his neck and his professional football career, the dream of many little boys and grown men, was cut short. Five years ago a stroke nearly took his life. I met Steve about two and a half years ago.

"What I love about Mother's Day is Mom doesn't have to plan it," Halle recently told People. "My family gets together and they get to plan the day for me, and I love that. I'm the planner and I'm the one that organizes. And on Mother's Day I get to just be taken care of."
That same weekend, Halle attended the 2013 Revlon Run/Walk For Women held at The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

It's official. Facebook is serious about making money, and its turning its mobile problem—mobile growth was eating into margins—into an opportunity. CEO Mark Zuckerberg kicked off the call by saying he wants to "dispel the myth that Facebook can't make money on mobile," saying "people underestimate how good mobile is for Facebook." Why? COO Sheryl Sandberg said mobile ads work better than desktop ads, and Zuckerberg says people on mobile use Facebook more often. So, bottom line, Zuckerberg says "We'll monetize better on mobile than on the desktop."
Facebook stock soared on this mobile strength, (Click here to get the latest quotes for Facebook) and the fact that advertising revenue is accelerating again, growing 36 percent over a year ago, after growing just 28 percent in the second quarter. The stock flew more than 10 percent higher after hours. Earnings per share came in at 12 cents, a penny better than expected, while revenue grew 32 percent to $1.26 billion. Operating margins declined as Facebook invested in growth, namely hiring employees and spending $171 million on property and equipment, and covering tax payments.
(Read More: Facebook Revenue Jumps 32% Amid Gains in Mobile.)
After launching mobile ads just a few months ago, they now comprise 14 percent of all ad revenue, that's $153 million in the quarter. Thanks to this new mobile advertising, Facebook's advertising revenue is accelerating sequentially, growing 36 percent over last year, after growing just 28 percent in the second quarter over a year earlier. Facebook now has the second-biggest mobile ad business in the world, after only Google . If it maintains its current pace, it's looking at a $610 million annual mobile ad business. But because Zuckerberg and Sandberg say this is just the beginning for mobile ads, we'll likely see that accelerate.
(Read More: Facebook's New Retail Push Allows Users to Hit 'Buy'.)
Sandberg stressed that the new Facebook exchange is working, and that combined with new targeting tools, advertisers are seeing "significantly increased efficiency." Sandberg rattled through a number of examples with as much as 10 times the return on ad spend compared to other platforms. And it seems to be improving the company's relationship with Madison Avenue, Sanberg noting "new clients and increased budgets."
(Read More: Where Facebook Is Looking to Grow: COO Sheryl Sandberg.)
Bolstered by mobile and more targeted ads, Facebook's average revenue per user grew four percent to was $1.25, a penny higher than Wall Street expected, according to Street Account. Facebook's average *advertising* revenue per user came in a full nickel higher than expected, at $1.08. Driving that upside was a 7 percent increase in ad prices worldwide. In the US and Canada ad prices increased as much as 20 percent, though they declined in Europe.
(Read More: Facebook Hits Milestone, but Real News Is in Mobile.)
While ads grew, payments suffered, revenue declining 9 percent from the prior quarter, largely on Zynga's struggles. The social game maker, which today announced layoffs and cutbacks, generated 20 percent less payments revenue than it did a year earlier. Facebook pointed out that on the upside, its payments revenue is diversifying, and revenue from game makers outside Zynga grew 40 percent.
As for other new revenue streams, like 'gifts,' Zuckerberg didn't give any details, just saying that he's "excited" about the launch and the "Opportunity to bring commerce to Facebook over time." He said he sees gifts as a key gateway to understanding how people buy things. It's certainly a way to get credit card numbers into the system as it builds on the way people wish each other Happy Birthday.
